14 BIRBECK CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 14 BIRBECK CLOSE sales from April 2003 and October 2011 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the April 2003 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI.
